THE POWERS CONSENT.

His Electors Pleased With the Tone of
His Answer-Russia Irritated by the
Choice and Threatening Austria 49,
Austria Declared Indifferent to the
Election.

ranje's dispatch informing him of his cleo
tion as Prince of Bulgaria, said he was

Premyd says the election of Prince Ferdi-
nand of Saxe-Coburg to the Bulgarian
throne exhausts Russia's patience. austria
will not succeed" +" adds the paper; "Russia's
action may inconvenience Austria"
ANOTHER VERSION.
1t is semi-oflicially stated that the govern
ment attaches no serious import TO the deci-
sion of the SObrauj je and will not modify its
attitude towards Bulgaria. The recent ac-
tion of the Sobranj je is regarded as not only
insufficient to secure the Prince of Bul-
gnria, but in the opinion of the Russian
government is entirely illegal until such
action has received the sanction of the
powers.
THE PRINCES POSITION.
BERLIN, July S.-The Coburg Zeitung
semi otficiaD, in an article ON the election
of Prince Ferdinand, says; "ln view of the
attempts of the Bulgarian party of indie
pendence to draw Prince Ferdinand into its
confused affairs we must point out the fact
that German Prince, such as Prince Ferdi-
innd, cannot accept the crown without the
permission of the head of the House to
which he belongs, nor without the consent
of Emperor William, and until their con
sent is obtained nothing can be settled"
AUSTRIA INDIFFERENT.
VIENNA, July S.-The attitude of the
government of Austria is one of entire in
difference concerning the election of Prince
Ferdinand, of SAKE -Coburg -Gotha, as Prince
of Bulgaria. Count Kalnoky, the Austro-
Hungarian Prime Minister, while returning
from his visit to Moravia, will meet Prince
Ferdinand at Bucharest. The press is a
unit in congratulating the people of Bulgaria
on Prince terdnand's election.

Prohibitory Provisions.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. July S-The
constitution of the proposed State of Utah
was completed and adopted yesterday by
the Mormon convention. Provisions for
entire separation of church and State, for
non-sectarian education, forbidding the en-
ployment or rejection of school-teachers on
account of their faith or non-belief in any
doctrine or sect, forbidding bigamy and
pOlygamy and providing penalties
therefor, not to be changed or amended
without the consent of Congress
and the President, and apportioning
representation as recently provided for the
Territory, so as to favor the minority, and
other important sections We're adopted
in their entirety. The Utah commission
will permit the votes for the ratification or
rejection of the constitution to be counted
by the election judges. The vote is to be
taken at the general election on Aug. |.
The convention adjourned subject to the
call of the president There is much dis
cussion on the polygamy provisions. The
members of the convention express their
sincere desire to settle the question, but it
is understood that the prohibitOry law will
be enforced bOnaiide by the State if admit
ted to the Union. Everything was fully
debated by the convention. Only registered
voters who have taken the test oath will be
allowed to vote ON the question. The mat
ter exciteS intense interest.
The work Of the convention is the subject
of general comment. The Mormons meet
the objection that they will not enforce the
anti-polygamy provision 10y legislation by
claiming that the section providing penal
ties is operative without legislation. They
state further that they will amend
the constitution when Utah is admitted,
which they cannot do now, as no
amendment on that question is barred
without the consent of Congress and the
President Prominent Mormons say that
if Utah is admitted the anti-polygamy sec
tions will be faithfully enforced. The vote
of ratification will be taken Aug. /.
